The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FEBRUARY 17. 1S9S. 



WARREN, O. 



At the recent funerals o£ two very 

 prominent citizens the floral offerings 

 were very numerous and elaborate, 

 many being sent here from other cities. 

 One of the handsomest arrangements 

 was a tliirty-inch crescent wreath of 

 Meteor roses and Roman hyacinths on 

 a background of fancy ferns, and fin- 

 ished with Asparagus pluniosus. 



Trade is not as brisk as to be wished 

 but I think there is some improvement. 



The wholesale plant trade has not 

 started much yet. Buyers are apt to 

 hold orders back till the last moment. 

 When ordered too late the plants are 

 apt to lack time for recovery before 

 planting out time. 



The blizzard of two weeks ago did 

 very little damage here. Only a few 

 lights of glass were broken, though the 

 wind had a velocity of 70 miles au 

 hour. 



Mr. A. T. Hoyt is now able to be 

 .about again, lie expects to drop green- 

 house work and devote his entire time 

 to developing his hot water heating 

 system. He has received many letters 

 from prominent florists since the note 

 appeared in The Review. 



A gentleman asked me recently if I 

 had seen any prosperity badges. Upon 

 my answering in the negative he 

 showed me a large patch on the seat 

 of his trousers. Many of us have had 

 these badges this winter. But we look 

 forward to better things at an early 

 date. MUM. 



Among the floral tributes sent to the 

 funeral of the mother of President Mc- 

 Kinley was one arranged by Mr. Geo. 

 W. Gaskill, of Warren, Ohio, which 

 ■was a wreath of lilies and roses, and 

 which was so much admired by the 

 president's wife that she directed that 

 it be sent to her apartments, and it 

 was sent to Washington. This was cer- 

 tainly quite a compliment to Florist 

 Gaskill.
